Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody. The reason I'm doing this podcast episode
Speaker 1: over again is because the first five or six episodes
Speaker 1: we have poor audio, and I don't want to torture
Speaker 1: you with that poor audio. So hopefully in the next
Speaker 1: seven days we'll redo those first five episodes so you
Speaker 1: can have a nice audio soundtrack to listen to. I
Speaker 1: know they're kind they're kind of quiet, so the commercial
Speaker 1: hits you hard and then you get to the episode.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to redo the first one, which is
Speaker 1: why we're doing this. What is this? This is for
Speaker 1: the exam, the E Triple P. It is not just
Speaker 1: a knowledge test. It is something that really tests to
Speaker 1: see do you understand the material you've learned throughout school.
Speaker 1: You probably didn't notice that most of that stuff that
Speaker 1: you learned throughout school, little tidbits of it are going
Speaker 1: to be tested on the E Triple P. The E
Speaker 1: Triple P is also two parts. The first part is knowledge. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're in California, they do not test for the
Speaker 1: second part, and a lot of states do not test
Speaker 1: for the second part. We may go into part two
Speaker 1: after we're done with part one. So for those who
Speaker 1: do need it, I think it's about ten states that
Speaker 1: actually have both parts. They're trying to get rid of
Speaker 1: the part two of the licensing exam, but we might
Speaker 1: give it anyway. It's a good thing to learn, but
Speaker 1: that's after we finish with Part one, which will take
Speaker 1: a few months. Part one is knowledge and measures your
Speaker 1: understanding of psychological science and its application. It spans eight
Speaker 1: core areas biological, cognitive, effective, social, cultural lifespan development, assessment
Speaker 1: and diagnosis, intervention and prevention, research methods, and ethical and
Speaker 1: legal issues. These are really the main components of every
Speaker 1: decision you make as a psychologist, so it's great to
Speaker 1: learn these things and refrach your memories. Again. We'll be
Speaker 1: looking at these. We'll focus a lot of the time
Speaker 1: on the three highest wave domains is this. Assessment and
Speaker 1: diagnosis is about sixteen percent. Unfortunately, Ethics is about sixteen percent,
Speaker 1: and treatment and intervention is about fifteen percent. The reason
Speaker 1: I say unfortunately is because a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: like the ethics component of it's kind of dry, but
Speaker 1: it is going to be important on the E triple
Speaker 1: P and it makes sense. There's a lot of dangers
Speaker 1: as being a psychologist out there. You want to make
Speaker 1: sure you cover yourself and understand the law and protect
Speaker 1: your clients as well. We'll identify frequently tested topics within
Speaker 1: each domain, things like suicide risk protocols and diagnostic criteria.
Speaker 1: I'll add some additional components to it of my own
Speaker 1: knowledge to some of these things, but I'll make sure
Speaker 1: to let you know what it is and that it's
Speaker 1: not related to the E triple P. But it'll be
Speaker 1: very minimal so we don't get too mixed up. You
Speaker 1: will use concept hierarchies built from foundational terms like reliability
Speaker 1: and validity to apply tasks. This whole thing is somewhat
Speaker 1: structure for you. And that's one of the main problems
Speaker 1: people have. They think of the E triple P or
Speaker 1: sometimes any kind of exam like a vast forest or
Speaker 1: something of that sort. They have no map of how
Speaker 1: to get through it or how to get to anywhere.
Speaker 1: And every tree is a concept in this forest. But
Speaker 1: a lot of times they just wander around. They think
Speaker 1: more is better, that an hour is equal results, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't really work that way. You really should be
Speaker 1: able to you should you should steady smart, and that's
Speaker 1: the goal of this podcast. So not only I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you're reading you're taking a lot of test questions. You
Speaker 1: should also be listening to the podcast, whether it's this
Speaker 1: one or others, whatever it may be, to help you
Speaker 1: with the exam. So we'll start again with the Big three,
Speaker 1: which is assessment and diagnosis, ethics, and treatment intervention. We
Speaker 1: won't start with them here on the podcast. We're going
Speaker 1: to start from the biology and work our way up
Speaker 1: because they are connected, so I think this is the
Speaker 1: best way to understand it. So we'll also give you
Speaker 1: some questions sometimes after the podcast episode so you can
Speaker 1: test yourself, and then towards the end, when we're done
Speaker 1: with all the chapters, we'll start giving you questions to practice.
Speaker 1: So while you're driving or cooking, you can listen to
Speaker 1: the questions and see if you can answer them. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things I would recommend flash cards. Believe
Speaker 1: it or not, the old school flash cards are great.
Speaker 1: You learn something once you go back to it again.
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to these podcasts when you start
Speaker 1: on Monday, I'm doing it five days a week. So
Speaker 1: if you start on Monday Friday, maybe on the weekend
Speaker 1: you listen to all five of them again to really
Speaker 1: solidify it. Re member memory consolidation in that hippocampus, and
Speaker 1: this we'll keep you focused. Flash Cards will be another
Speaker 1: way to do it. Of course, practicing test questions is
Speaker 1: another way to do it. And hopefully all this will
Speaker 1: start helping you to do well in E triple P.
Speaker 1: I think the passing rate is about sixty percent last
Speaker 1: I saw in regards to the passing rate of the
Speaker 1: E triple P. So I hope you enjoy this podcast,
Speaker 1: and I hope it becomes meaningful for you.
